While unique in their own trajectories, each EP unleashes next-level electronics shaped into pulsing electro configurations that cast incredibly rugged IDM and broken beat shadows.
Electro configurations casting incredibly rugged IDM and broken beat shadows
Dez Williams and Fleck E.S.C. should already ring all proverbial electro bells as they continue to amass a following by creating rhythmic, forward thinking, abstract, and substantial tunes. The depth and darkness exhibited by Fleck E.S.C. on Responsible Grown Up is mind boggling, the robotic tones (ref. “Substitute Placebo” and “That’s It”), flexible breaks (ref. “Responsible Grown Up”) and punchy dub-techno strands (ref. “Grassland”) expand and tear open minute by minute. These futuristic sounds (coming from Tokyo) are not only dramatic and downbeat in construction, they also elevate the IDM/electro genre a few notches where fans of early Gescom will gravitate towards its sharp glitches and diced bleep melodies floating somewhere in space. Dez Williams, on the other hand, takes hard(er)-edged electro and bass thuds to another level on Access Point. Granulized modular bliss and melodic harmonies unfold on the emotive “Komoshan” as bloated rhythms expand and contract with precise and crunchy shards (ref. “Unusual Behaviour”), to imploding breaks and heavy drum action on the Detroit-infused “I Spot on your Rave”). While unique in their own trajectories, each EP unleashes next-level electronics shaped into pulsing electro configurations that cast incredibly rugged IDM and broken beat shadows.
Responsible Grown Up and Access Point are available on Woodwork.
